Illustrates specific detail how good manners can be applied in many of the situations in which boys and girls find themselves every day. Emphasizes that teenagers can cultivate good manners by manifesting a real desire to get along with others.




Ken Smith sez: This classic stars "Woody" from Dating Dos and Don'ts -- a few years older, but just as out of touch with reality. As "Jack," he goes through this entire film being unbelievably polite, but the weird leer on his face makes you wonder what he's really thinking. Don't miss the soda shop populated by waitresses in Hans Brinker costumes(!), or the montage of adults thinking approvingly of Jack's behavior.
